Our students should be learning and growing, not clicking and scrolling. That’s why I’m pushing for a bell-to-bell smartphone ban in our schools.

Wow. Amazing. Game changer. Lower our taxes you idiot!

Taxpayers do not need to pay 13 mil to tell kids to put away their phones! There are consequences to actions! Money doesn’t buy it! Resign!

The ban on cell phones during school hours is a great idea. The $13.5 million price tag Kathy Hochul has budgeted to remove cell phones from the class rooms is bull$hit. Kathy Hochul is a horrible governor and wastes billions of our NYS tax dollars. 🤡🚨

How much time have you wasted on this one initiative? Is there a reason you can’t just get it done and move onto more pressing issues like addressing the most meteoric rise in violent criminality in the history of great City of New York?

Back to school sounds a little different this year thanks to our bell-to-bell cell phone ban. Disconnecting helped our children reconnect, and our schools are better for it.

New York became the largest state in the nation to enact a bell-to-bell smartphone ban in schools this year. One semester in, it's already delivering huge results. But don't just take my word for it...

Our kids are not for sale. We’re moving forward with a first-in-Canada plan to ban social media and AI chatbots for youth - because these platforms are built to capture attention, not protect it. Childhood should be about learning, growing, and being present. Not endless scrolling designed for profit. We owe the next generation something simple: the freedom to be kids. A lot done. A lot more to do.

Our students shouldn't be terrified of just walking into their schools. HB836 makes it clear that no child will be denied a free public education because of citizenship status. Public schools exist to educate our children, not to police our families. Schools should be safe places where kids can focus on learning, growing, and building their futures, not places where families fear deportation. Together we are guaranteeing every child in Virginia the right to an education. 📚

Schools should be safe places for students. ICE officers are detaining educators at Minnesota high schools—causing chaos and tension in our communities. ICE needs to get off our streets and stay away from our schools.

Yesterday at PMQs I asked the PM why Labour MPs voted against banning mobiles in school. His response: “it’s completely unnecessary”. This is why it’s necessary👇 Only 1 in 10 secondary schools have an effective ban. That’s why we’re pushing to ban mobiles in schools for under-16s. Join us and sign our petition at

Parents want their children to be educated not indoctrinated. And that’s exactly what we are doing in Florida. Thanks to Ron DeSantis, our schools are focused on teaching and learning, not activism. We will continue to call out Florida Education Association for attempting to turn our schools into ideological playgrounds.

Parents are pulling their kids out of public schools, that’s a red flag. We have some of the highest levels of education funding, but our children still aren’t learning and our schools are some of the worst in the nation. This is Tina Kotek’s Oregon, she’s been falling students and parents, for almost four years, and we’ve had enough. When I’m Governor, we’re going to fix our schools and make sure funding goes to helping kids learn, not failed agendas and ideologies.

2025 was about putting Arkansans first. A stronger economy. Safer streets. Classrooms built for learning from bell to bell. We stood up for our farmers, pushed back on China, and invested in Arkansas’s future. 2026 starts now, Happy New Year!

OK Superintendent of Schools says the Biden Admin is pushing graphic pornography and gender theory in schools to sexualize our kids, but he says students should be taught from important historical documents like the Bible.

We’re headed to Springfield today with a clear message: stop protecting billionaires and start funding our schools. If there is money for tax breaks, then there should be plenty of money for classrooms. Educators are mobilizing to pass legislation to tax the rich, and fully fund Illinois schools. Because our students should be the priority, not an afterthought.

I’m listening to Floridians, and they’re saying loud and clear: don’t give away our water, our land, and our communities to Big Tech. That’s why I’m calling for a moratorium on new data centers until Florida has real protections in place. Our future should be shaped by the people who live here, not the special interests writing the checks.

Bell-to-bell cellphone bans were already working in schools across Illinois. Now, it's time we make it official — teachers like it, students like it, and parents like it.

Instead of teaching students woke propaganda, our schools should be teaching students how to manage money, invest, and pay taxes. Financial literacy should start in high school.

Schools should be filled with students, learning, books and curiosity. Not command and control centers filled with terrorists, rockets, guns and terrorism.
